There are many other types of pastels – soft, hard and oil – which will be covered in future tutorials, Equipment Focus, Problem Solvers, Topical Tips etc. ......................... IN THIS EPISODE OF Equipment Focus you will learn why Paul refers to working with soft pastels as ‘Painting with Pastels’. He shows his basic ‘colour palette’ and how it relates to his basic painting palette of colours. ......................... Painting with Pastels involves painting in layers and you will see how this can be achieved with Artists’ Quality Soft Pastels. ......................... Paul also shows how to effectively control the sticks, by producing different sizes and shapes with which to ‘mimic’ brush strokes. Thus saving your valuable pastel sticks and getting the most out of them. .......................... Not only is Equipment Focus a stand-alone series; it also links in to the many painting tutorial episodes in 'Art Workshop With Paul Taggart'. .......................... Artist and Author Paul Taggart has worked with people who paint for pleasure, whether as a pursuit or as professionals. Over the forty plus years that he has done so, it has been his policy to share as much information as possible - for he passionately believes that everyone is given the chance to develop. Each episode of 'Painting Equipment Focus' concentrates on one painting tool and shows how to best exploit it.
